TheHarvard School of Public Health2analyzed over 100,000 subjects for 25 years, collecting data on dietary histories periodically.
During the follow-up period, over 6,000 cases of new coronary heart disease were identified.
Reduced risk of colorectal cancer.
An updatedanalysisconfirmed these findings.
In fact, colorectal cancer risk decreased by 17 percent for each 90-gram-per-day increase in consumption of whole grains.

Over 600 products were evaluated and this disparity was found particularly in breads, pizzas, and flours.

Do we go back to Ezekiel bread and organic almond butter instead of a GF rice wrap?
